Louisville Overview | An informative introduction to Louisville, Kentucky

As one of the major cities connecting the south to the midwest, I think Louisville is a fascinating city. In this video I briefly cover Louisville's history, population, skyline as well as a few things that make Louisville unique as a city. Thanks for watching: Louisville Overview | An informative introduction to Louisville, Kentucky.

If you enjoy short geography overviews, here is a link to one of the primary books that inspired me to make this channel:

Louisville's an underrated city and metro area. It has a very healthy economy, low cost of living, and its metro area has been steadily growing for generations. Its climate is moderate and doesn't tend to get a lot of extremes, though summers are very warm and stifling like most of the rest of the country. The people I've met there tend to be pretty friendly and down to Earth (it's no accident that Jennifer Lawrence is a native). It has a lot of the amenities of a larger city with the chill Southern/Midwestern vibe of a medium-sized regional city. Obviously, it has its crime and poverty and other problems like any city but overall it's a pleasant place to visit and seems to be a decent place to live.

I'm originally from NYC but I moved to Louisville years ago and moved back and forth between NYC and Louisville a few times before finally coming back here two years ago. I will never look back at NYC. I love this city and am proud to claim it as my home.

I grew up in NJ, but moved to Louisville in 2014, love it, it has become home

My friend grew up there and goes back to visit family each year. She has a poster of the skyline in her office so I’ve “seen” Louisville many times. Taco Bell originates from Louisville? Wow! Thought it might be from Texas. Texas Roadhouse is another surprising fact. I love all the details you dig up! Great clip on that steamboat, btw. I’ve been on one and it’s a wonderful experience. Thanks for another addition to your city surveys. ♥️😎⭐️🥇🏆

I have always thought that the Louisville skyline has a very interesting to look at. I would love to visit this city. Great video.

I grew up around Louisville and currently live in it, it's a great place to have fun when you have the Derby, Thunder and also Louder Than Life which you didn't mention! It held the biggest rock festival in North America in 2023.

Visited a few years ago and liked the chill vibe. Hot Browns are just wrong though. lol

Great overview!! I’ve heard the Kentucky derby is out of this world!!!

Watch out for the helicopter event there

Maybe sometime you’ll do Anchorage, Alaska. It’s a small city with about 300k and a metro of about 400k. A city in an unexpected place, with both a downtown and separate midtown skyline.

Louisville has 18 city parks designed by Fredrick Law Olmsted. The same guy that designed Central Park in New York City. They are all exceptionally beautiful and well used.

Man, all these American cities I've driven past or through and never have to take another road trip

[AJKPenguin]

A 50-1 odds city. . .horse race talk for being underrated. : )
Don't forget about the oldest watertower at the Waterworks Museum and Locust Grove, a historic park with plenty of reenactments. : )

PS: @City Geek did you reupload your Louisville compilation? I seem to have remembered you had one earlier. It's okay if you did.

Several people that have moved to Louisville have decided to stay after college because of the community, family atmosphere, and just all around unique vibe

[TheKingdomofiZrael]

Louisville is the best city in the world to me

[josecorvo]
